E! Entertainment, Elle and IMG Models teamed up to host the annual New York Fashion Week Kickoff Party in New York City’s Meatpacking District on Wednesday, attracting modeling favorites such as Olivia Culpo and Hailey Baldwin.

Both models wore almost identical white pumps for the occasion, but each of them had strikingly different ensembles to complement the shoes.

Olivia donned a polka-dot LBD from Carmen March coupled with matching black stockings from Calzedonia. The whole attire was reminiscent of Betty Boop’s signature sultry look. Even her hair was styled in short waves. The only thing missing was bold red lips.

While the former beauty queen went for a foxy and feminine approach, Hailey went the opposite direction with a masculine two-piece suit consisting of plaid pants rolled at the hem and an oversized blazer. Her hair was tied in a tight top knot and makeup kept to a minimum.

Who wore the white pumps better? We think both of them did the pair justice, which shows that snowy shoes can be just as versatile as black. Pick a classic pair of white pumps from Nordstrom to add to your closet.
